Bracing According to Best Practice Standards – Are the Results Repeatable?

Abstract: Background: As has been demonstrated before bracing concepts in use today for the treatment of scoliosis include symmetric and asymmetric hard braces usually made of polyethylene (PE) and soft braces. The plaster cast method worldwide seems to be the most practiced technique for the construction of hard braces at the moment. CAD/ CAM (Computer Aided Design/Computer Aided Manufacturing) systems are available which allow brace adjustments without plaster. As in the Ukraine the CAD/CAM technology is not affordabl… Show more

“…The better the in-brace correction, the better the end result. In fact, in-brace correction is negatively related to curve magnitude [18]. Poor results can be due to poor bracing and this could be verified through in-brace radiographs to assess the obtained correction.…”

“…Patients included were from November 2011 to December 2012. In-brace correction from this sample has been compared to the in-brace correction of other Chêneau samples as published in literature 11,13,15,[18][19][20][21] .…”

“…There are at present many different braces on the market. There are symmetrical [8,[12][13][14][15][16][17] and asymmetrical braces [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26], rigid and soft braces [27], full time braces and nighttime braces. These braces have different biomechanical corrective principles, with varying effectiveness in halting progression of curvatures.…”
